At a critical moment, Tang Yi picked up a wooden stick from the ground and struck Wang Ge on the head.
Before Wang Ge's fruit knife could stab Yan Xi, he himself fainted.
Tang Yi had never killed anyone before, so when faced with such a situation, she was truly terrified.
Tang Yi carefully placed her hand on Wang Ge's wrist, only to find that he had no breath.
Tang Yi realized she had killed someone and was filled with panic.
Yan Xi noticed Tang Yi's fear, stepped forward, took Tang Yi's hand, and gently comforted her, "It's okay, I'll protect you."
"Xi Xi, I... I really killed someone. I'll spend the rest of my life in prison."
Tang Yi's words seemed to be spoken to Yan Xi, hoping for comfort.
They also seemed to be spoken to herself.
Yan Xi felt a pang in her heart upon hearing Tang Yi's words.
Tang Yi had acted to protect Yan Xi.
This child was terrified.
Just as Tang Yi was consumed by fear and unease, Fu Yan Ting's rescue team arrived at the scene.
Fu Yan Ting quickly walked to Yan Xi's side, examined her, and upon seeing that she was unharmed, his tense heart finally relaxed. He then instructed his subordinates to deal with Wang Ge and the driver lying on the ground.
Zheng Ze Min also arrived at the scene. Seeing Tang Yi in a daze, Zheng Ze Min said sarcastically, "Where is your old man? Why didn't he rush to your side the moment you were in trouble?"
He then pointed at Yan Xi and Fu Yan Ting and said impatiently, "See? The ones who can drop everything and rush to the scene no matter how busy they are are the real ones. You should wake up."
At this moment, Tang Yi was genuinely terrified. No matter how much Zheng Ze Min mocked her, Tang Yi grabbed his hand and cried, "I killed someone, but it wasn't intentional. They kidnapped us first and insulted us. I truly didn't mean to kill anyone. In my situation, how many years will I be sentenced to?"
Seeing that Tang Yi was truly frightened, Zheng Ze Min could no longer mock her. He took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I will be your lawyer and help you win this case. This was self-defense, and you won't go to jail."
Tang Yi knew that Zheng Ze Min was a formidable lawyer. Hearing him say this, Tang Yi felt like she had grasped a lifeline. She excitedly held Zheng Ze Min's hand and whispered, "Lawyer Zheng, do you really promise I won't go to jail?"
"Yes, I promise you. I wouldn't joke about my profession with you."
Hearing Zheng Ze Min's words, Tang Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, the ambulances and police cars arrived at the scene. Yan Xi and Tang Yi had minor abrasions and needed to go to the hospital to clean their wounds. The driver and Wang Ge were not so lucky; both were seriously injured, especially Wang Ge, who was in critical condition and needed immediate medical attention.
At the hospital, Wang Ge was rushed to the ICU for rescue, while the driver was simply placed in a ward.
The doctor treated the driver's wounds. The iodine stung, and the driver grimaced, opening his eyes.
Seeing the doctor and police officers, his heart skipped a beat.
In front of the police, the driver dared not hide anything and confessed the entire sequence of events.
As an accomplice, he was sentenced to five years in prison.
The driver knew very well that this was his retribution.
If he hadn't colluded with Wang Ge and been greedy for money back then, he wouldn't be in this situation now. It was all his own doing.
He had no one to blame but himself.
Wang Ge underwent emergency treatment in the operating room but was out of danger.
Although Yan Xi had fought back against Wang Ge, she was clearly skilled.
Both Wang Ge and the driver had injuries, but externally, they only had minor bruises, which were not severe.
If the doctors hadn't examined them, it would have been difficult to diagnose that they were injured, and so seriously.
Therefore, after being wheeled out of the ICU by the nurses, Wang Ge was arrested by the police.
Wang Ge regretted his actions deeply, but there was no turning back in this world.
That bitch Han Xiao, when she hired him to kill them, why didn't she tell him that these two women were so fierce and skilled?
Wang Ge harbored intense hatred for Han Xiao.
Meanwhile, Han Xiao had no idea what had happened.
Wang Ge went to prison filled with resentment.
In the ordinary ward, after her wounds were treated, Tang Yi, ignoring the pain, anxiously paced back and forth.
Seeing this, Yan Xi comforted her, "Nothing will happen. You don't need to be so worried."
It was evident that Tang Yi had been well protected by her mother and had not witnessed the dark side of society.
Hearing Yan Xi's comforting words, Tang Yi felt even more distressed.
She stepped forward, took Yan Xi's hand, and said with a choked sob, "Xi Xi, I'm sorry. I've implicated you."
"You don't need to say that to me. I know you are also a victim. Look, the heavens have eyes. Those who do wrong will be punished by the law."
Fu Yan Ting, who had been taking care of Yan Xi, had not asked many questions earlier because Tang Yi was too unstable.
However, now that Tang Yi had regained her composure, Fu Yan Ting asked, "Do you know who is responsible for this?"
"I do."
Tang Yi recounted the entire incident to Fu Yan Ting.
Upon hearing Tang Yi's words, Zheng Ze Min asked in disbelief, "So, you're saying that you are actually Mr. Mo's daughter, and that woman, fearing that your appearance would affect her status in the Mo family and her wealth, decided to harm you?"
Tang Yi nodded.
"Damn it."
Even the usually gentle Zheng Ze Min couldn't help but curse.
He had misunderstood Tang Yi's relationship with Mr. Mo before and had said many insulting things to her.
But what was the outcome?
Tang Yi's relationship with Mr. Mo was not as disgraceful as he had imagined.
They were father and daughter who had been separated for many years.
Zheng Ze Min suddenly felt a wave of despair.
Although Mo Corporation's scale was not as large as Fu Corporation's, it was still quite substantial.
Why was Zheng Ze Min's romantic journey so bumpy?
His first love, his unattainable goddess, had married into a wealthy family.
And now, the person he had finally found to anchor his emotions after so many years, not only had she not married into a wealthy family, but she was born into one.
Although Zheng Ze Min had achieved a certain status in the legal circle through his own hard work over the years, this could not erase the fact that he was a child from a poor mountain village, and his family had no money.
His parents were still farming in the countryside.
How could someone like him be worthy of Tang Yi?
Just then, the ward door was pushed open, and several uniformed police officers entered...
